 The house, barn, wagon and wooo sheds on farm in the north part ot tne town. belonging to Florence MoCartny o' this village, and occupied by bis brother, Patrick. was burned on Saturday. MT: McCarthy lived there alone, and was at work in a field near by, when the ne'gn- bors discovered the fire and gave the alarm. There was no time to save any o1 the contents of house or barn, except that MT. M. went into the stable and got out the horse, getting himself severely burned about the head and arm ln dolng so. me animal was of little value, and his rescue with the loss of barn and hay for ms keep ing, is not big stroke of fortune 1or ms owner. All the furniture ln the house ana to 10 tons of hay ill the barn was total loss. There was an insurance of $3OO on the house and of $10O on the barn, which sums cover not over third of the total loss.

 MIR. EDITOR It must have been with a great deal of satisfaction that the temper ance people of Stafford read B. E. Segar's s card in last weeks "Press," to the effect that the Springs House was temperance hotel, And it must have closed the mouths of that class of persons who had been tell ing us that "there was just as much liquor sold under no license as under license. " No one can feel any more satisfaction over such testimony of the success of the moral effect of no license than l do. No one for one moment supposes but that w. A. Segar would be selling liquor to-day It it was not for the restraining influences ot the law. As it is he does not submit gracefully to such state of affairs, as his feelings at times are aOt too deep for ut terance, as in answer to question, Mon day, Oct. Sd, if "any one had seen Hodg- son go by,' he took it upon himself to say, FNo, and he hoped he never would, until he went by deGd." l have always respected E. B. Segar and others of MT: Segar's family, but w. A. Segar has had no more claim for consideration from me than any other man that was selling con: trary to law. The previous speakers ot the evening had been telling that ''liquor sellers were aaurderers, the business was damnable, it was compared to mad dog, the families ought to be ostracised, and the whole pressure of the community be brought to bear against the business to crush it out." It was all good, but 1t lack ed the desired information how to do 1t. It is very desirable when you want to work successfully to know eOIere to work, and gave the names of those who had paid for U. s. retail liquor dealers licenses in Staf- ford, and among them was W. A. Segar. The record gives the date as May 31st. presume he paid for one this year just from force of habit. The statutes say that ''hquors found in the possession of one who has paid D. s. license is prima facia evidence that the liquors are kept for sale. " Therefore the payment for license car ries the impression of an intent to sell. If MT. Segar has not sold liquors he talked very foolishly to to me one time. For he tried to induce me not to prosecute him, and said that the hotel could not run un- less it did sell liquors, and, as it is still running, and MT. Segar is still there, I will leave it to an intelligent public if the inference would not be to any candid mind that he must be selling. Respectfully, T. G. HoDGsoN. | HYDEvuLE.

 MT. and Mrs. Sidney Smith were sur prised Saturday evening by company o1 the village people, both old and young, pouring into their dwelling, bringing gifts and congratulations for their arrival at the Egolden gate of welded life. An easy chail was presented them from the associate workmen of Mir. Smith in the shop, and an envelope of money from their many friends in the village. May they live to enjoy for long time to come the quiet resting places which these gifts from lov ing hearts afford ere they are called to sit down in the kingdom of God. Few places perhaps, have undergone more changes during this eventful half century thar Stafordville, there being now in this place only two persons, MT. R. W. Andrews ano Mrs. John Pinney, who were here wher MT. and Mrs. Smith joined hands togeth or for their life journey. STAFFORD HOLLOW.
